A few weeks ago, after playing around a little with my new Berry Basket Die, I wanted to try to make a larger basket to actually hold some cards on my desk. Some I saw online were actually two or three baskets put together but I didn’t want the divider inside. So I figured out this arrangement:

You can see I cut off some of the basket sides in order to assemble this and glued two sides at the ends. I also took the strips that would be the handles and cut them to adhere the pieces together in the basket bottom. Then I covered the inside bottom of the basket with a piece of card stock that fit the length and width to give it a more finished look inside.  You’ll have to measure to get the best fit.

Then my berry basket was decorated with the pretty Painted Blooms Designer Series Paper, along the trim and for the flower.

I highly recommend trying the Coaster Board for making these baskets.  It will be a lot sturdier and stronger than card stock.  However, the card stock is cute and handy to use, too!

Get the Berry Basket Die and have fun making small baskets! How great they will be to make for Easter and spring!  The Handheld Stampin’ Up! Stapler is very fun to use with these baskets and makes them look like real baskets!
